Judcomm

Jeff finally finished, wants any additional comments

Harvey advocates an annual report to DormCon's Judcomm and individual dorms' exec committees giving general details like number of cases heard, types of cases, etc. to make sure individual judcomms are accountable to DormCon; transparency is good

Jeff says for individual dorms that's fine, it doesn't go against anything in the rules

Jeff will modify rules to include process for having dorm judcomms report to DormCon judcomm each semester with number and types of cases as well as types of range of sentences given

Rex Events Policy

During the immediate days prior to school starting next fall (Monday and Tuesday) we'll be allowed to register events, but in exchange we're not allowed to have any large planned events (e.g. take all freshmen to Six Flags or something like that)

Right now you're allowed to do any large events as long as there's no alcohol involved

Each dorm needs to individually agree to this policy

David wants to know what upper-classmen like to do when they get back on campus. He'll try to negotiate to let this be allowed under the official policy
